WoW, looking good. I just wish I had your collection of tools :lolcry:

...... like it was made for it.....

 

 

Hmmmm.... Srcutineers might get a bit suspicious of that one. I don't think they're in the PRC regs... :D

Mmmm, very nice.

 

I was struck by a TE27 I have seen recently, by just how crowded the engine bay is. Everything just fits. A 4AGE in an AE86 sort of spoils you for room. Plus lugging 2TG's around recently certainly illustrated how heavy they are compared to a 4AGE.

 

That was one of the things that encouraged me to source a genuine crossmember, so there will not be any issues with clearance.

 

It has been many years since I drove unboosted cars, and for no good reason sort of got it into my head boosted is better, but you're right of course.

 

Thanks for the offer of a loan of the template, shall let you know eventually.

:D

I'm liking this alot :hmm:

 

can't wait for the next installment :D

Hi,

Just a quick question,

What master are you using,

What brakes?

And where did you gey the pedal box and

cross member from.

Looking at going down the same road.

Any info/tips would be great.

 

Cheers Ian.

Update.

 

The brake master cylinder has been giving me grief.

 

I had RWD 323 master in there that looked the goods until I realized it had two front brake ports, with one exitting vertically downwards, right where the intake for throat 4 on the Weber goes. Which was a real pisser, as I'd already pretty much made the new brake lines to suit. Meteor master, which fits normal 20's, is no good as I have moved the master from its original position, outboard towards the strut tower. Meteor MC's port to the right. ie: directly into the strut tower. Scrub that one, too.

 

Of to Kelly's I went, and procured a GD Gallant 13/16 jobbie. The GD master has a banjo fitting with a double outlet for the front brakes. The guys at BHSS sorted me with a single outlet. Good to go. Piccies below, it's a snug fit, but I have good clearances for everything. :P

I know it's a bit late, but here goes.

 

Gd Gallant master cylinder.

ATM KE55 front, TA22 rear. This will be changing as I value my life.

Pedal box and x-member came form Japan via Import Monster, when the $AU was good and the yen was crap. Now the other way around.

Tips? Take up fishing. :P

mmm, Progress, Good to see its getting some lovin'

Are you thinking of running a (remote) booster at all for the front brakes?

 

there's already a valiant master cylinder, so why not a CH valiant or similiar VH44 remote booster? :P

Race cars don't require brake boosters & you get a better feel for the brakes when you have to do all the work.

Trev's kind of got it. Also given the fact that I've run this thing for years without one, I kind of like the feel without it. 13/16 is going to take a bit of effort though.

 

I do know a guy who had a VH44 connected to his hydraulic handbrake. Tell me that wasn't a giggle. :P

I fitted a 2tg in my ke20 dude.

fitted snug.:P:)
